\"Winners<\/a>
Josh the moral winner, Craig second<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Another ridiculously slow round – caused entirely by a group in front of our players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps in summer we should commit to earlier tee off times and reduce the likelihood of being dudded by whackers like today’s lot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news of the day was our joint winners, Hunts x 2 (the New Reliables?) and Old Reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special mentions also for podium finishers Tim, Peps and Stan (is he another New Reliable) and CJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Par they say is a “funny game” and not everybody’s cup of tea. Today wasn’t Grand Par so “double pluses” only counted for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh had three double pluses on holes 13, 14 and 15 (the latter two being birdies). In a Grand Par round he’d have been +6 and a clear winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craig had one double plus (a birdie on the 10th) and wouldabeen +4 in Grand Par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt had no double pluses, so speaking morally, he shouldabeen third not equal first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed Josh had the old man on toast standing on the 18th tee. At +4, with Matty at +3, and coming off a run of 6 pluses in a row on holes 12-17, a nice par or even a steady 4 a half would have seen Josh knock the old man off. But it wasn’t to be. A shocker off the tee led to a wipe for Josh while Matty calmly slotted his par.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Matty<\/a>
Hunt buggy crash 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Earlier both Hunt boys had buggy accidents, including a spectacular 180 degree turn and somersault of Matt’s buggy coming up the hill after the 13th. Matt was on the phone at the time and obviously distracted. Is there a fine for that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of our second placegetters, Peps had the heartbreak\/handbrake story. A double plus birdie on the 8th was one of three birdies on the front 9 that saw him turn 1-under off the stick and +4 (and +5 after 13). But 4 wipes and a half over the last 5 holes were costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After wipes on the first two holes, Tim steadied and kept his round going nicely, offsetting bad holes with good ones. His +1 included 6 pluses and 5 wipes. Stan is obviously back in town. His +1 was made up of 5 pluses and 4 wipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CJ was his usual steady self with 3 pluses (including one double plus birdie on the 13th) and 3 wipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam birdied the 1st (a double plus) and turned on +2 but couldn’t sustain his run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porks seemed cranky after the round but had done enough to sneak into 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The others in the field of 15 were Targe, SoS and Raj (-4) and three blokes sharing this week’s NAGA at -5, Rob, Steve and Ken.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Josh<\/a>
Hunt buggy crash 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Josh won the money (and didn’t share it with his dad) with a great shot into the 15th. Nobody hit the green on 7 and 18, so both ball holes are a jackpot for next week’s February monthly medal round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry’s birdie count with a few words left, 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS. Mail after the round from Chris in the Pro-shop is always ring to let him know if players in front of us are ridiculously slow. After 9am he has extra staff and can get out on the course and give the offenders a hurry-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPS. Harry how was the Tour Down Under in South Aus? Did you win the over 80’s men’s race?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
